If you search Timespanner for &quot;Asylum Days&quot;, you&#39;ll see a timeline I&#39;ve put up on part of the story of the asylum at Pt Chevalier. Curious, isn&#39;t it, that since 1867, when it opened, it has never been known by the suburb in which it has always been -- Pt Chevalier? Always &quot;the Whau&quot; or (incorrectly) Avondale Mental Hospital.<br /><br /Timespannerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11990716041045862669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466403878576837579.post-26623564315478689662011-08-18T17:55:51.558+12:002011-08-18T17:55:51.558+12:00Timespanner, congratulations on your excellent web...Timespanner, congratulations on your excellent website, which I recently came across. It’s good to see pics and read informative articles about the history of Auckland, which I haven’t lived in since the late 70s. When I was a kid growing up in Ellerslie back in the 50s and 60s, “you should be in Avondale” was an insult of the worst kind. Later, I trained as a psych nurse at Carrington Hospital.
